>>5714697>>5714725>>5714813Seeing Farnese always puts you in a good mood, remembering how the race came from just having a stroll around her broom, you wonder if any epiphany might happen when you actually see if her training paid off.
"No, no! You need to put the salt WITH the sugar on the cake batter."
"Why? I thought cakes were meant to be sugary."
"Yeah, but you need to put a pinch of salt on it to balance it out, there is a thing such as too sweet."
When coming at dusk to Danaan's mansion where you resided until you were ready to leave, you hear the storm monarch instructing Farnese on how to cook a decent cake, almost not noticing you until she bumped onto you, almost spilling the contents of her bowl if you didn't held her and it in place.
"Making a picnic without me, Farnese! How dare you?! What a betrayal of what we stood for!" You play up, dramatically faking your sadness and shock over her little surprise gathering, to which she playfully shoves a fingerful of cake batter in your mouth. "Hey, not bad, at least."
"I assumed you were too busy, so I just gave my best while you were gone, and I assure that you'll be very impressive with what I have learned along with Schierke. Miss Danaan, I'll be gone for a bit! See you soon!"
"Phew..." Is all the storm monarch replies, afraid of seeing Farnese screwing something about her trademark recipe.
"So, did you learn anything about how to use that ring of yours?" You ask Farnese as she changes clothes from her camisole to her mage gown...which also just looks like a hat with a camisole. Try not to focus on her outfit so much, damn it! She's your wife-to-be, and here you are still acting like kids in love!
"Yes! They seem to work very well with highly forested areas, and even when I'm indoors, I can still do things like this." She points the finger to you body, where several thorny vines grow around your body, along with shifting the wooden house to the point where it was going grass on the floor.
"Would you mind testing this ability with me for a little bit?"
"O-Oh! I'm not sure if we should... I mean, it's still pretty early, what if somebody walks in--" Farnese begins to fluster, yet while she was thinking of playing bondage with her new powerful constriction tools, you took your pouch of magical seeds to see if they could react to Farnese's ring.
"What were you thinking of doing again?" You smirk at her, already knowing the answer.
"N-Nothing! I suppose I can try growing these little seeds of yours..." She takes a few of them and throw them out the window. The innuendos just get better with each passing phrase...
After making a few gestures upwards with her fingers, she gently guides the sprouts out of their seeds, turning them into little small saplings.
"I'm not sure which one of them are mandragoras, but I think I'll get the hang of it like you!"
"I would complain about you ripping me off, but I'm glad you can do this without going through the same hoops."
